02 Backyard Guys

03 Remember the Lightning

04 This Time

05 Out of the Time

06 Going Up With My Girl

07 Brainwashed

08 Giving It All

20/20 - the original trio

09 Saturday's Child*

10 Slow Down*

11 Anytime at All*

20/20:

Steve Allen - guitar, vocals

Ron Flynt - bass, vocals

Mike Gallo - drums

*Phil Seymour joins the band for encore songs

This is 20/20's complete set. The exact date might be Nov. 5, 1978, a show at which 20/20 shared the bill with The Last. The original sharer said: “Band as three-piece before being signed to Portrait Records. This is when the band was an unfiltered, terrific unit.”

I've heard some of these in fair quality, but the music itself is top notch. Look forward to hearing some of the unheard ones here. I don't know about you, but their first and third full length, I liked better than than their "Look Out." Great posting and Thanks!
